is equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

ese limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. is equipment generates, uses

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, many cause harmful interference to radio

communications.

However, there is not guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference

to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning

the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from

that to which the receive is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Modications

Any changes or modications made to this device that are not expressly ap-

proved by PDI may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Cables

SERVICING

User Servicing

If your product is not operating correctly or exhibits a marked change in

performance and you are unable to restore normal operation by following the

detailed procedure in its operating instructions, do not attempt to service it

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage

or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.

service personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls

may result in damage and will oen require extensive work by a

qualied technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance which

indicates a need for service.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has

used replacement parts specied by the manufacturer or have the same

characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in

re, electric shock, or other hazards.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including ampliers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two

blades with one wider than the other. A grounding

type plug has two blades and a third grounding

prong. e wide blade or the third prong are

provided for your safety. If the provided plug does

not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked

on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specied by the

manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tri-

pod, bracket, or table specied by the

manufacturer, or sold with the appa-

ratus. When a cart is used, use cau-

tion when moving the cart/apparatus

combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been

damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or

plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has

been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate

normally, or has been dropped.

15. is appliance should be mounted to a wall or

ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

16. Care should be taken so that objects do no fall

and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through

openings.

17. If an outside antenna or cable system is

connected to the video product, be sure the antenna

or cable system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built-up static

charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect

to proper grounding of the mast and supporting

structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location

of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding

electrodes, and requirements for the grounding

electrode. See Figure A.

INSTALLATION

LOCATION GUIDELINES

e model PDI-P26/P32/P40LCD Hospital Grade LCD TV is a specialized LCD TV. It is intended for

entertainment and educational purposes in a hospital, a nursing home, medical-care center, or similar

healthcare facility in which installation is limited to a non-hazardous area in accordance with the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. e PDI-P26/P32/P40LCD is designed for mounting to PDI manufactured

mounts. Installation of the TV on any other brand of mount should follow the manufacturer’s mounting

specications.

WIRING

AC POWER & SIGNAL

e PDI-P26/P32/P40LCD TV mounts on the wall at the foot of a patient’s bed. Select a location that is near

an AC wall outlet and that does not expose the TV to bright room lights or sunlight, if possible. e LCD TV

also requires connection of both CATV cable signal and across-room wiring for the pillow speaker.

NOTE: Do NOT locate the AC wall

outlet, CATV Signal Connector outlet, or

Pillow Speaker Jack wall outlet below the

VESA Mount wall location as it may cause

clearance issues and interfere with the TV’s

cabinet.

CAUTION: Some hospital cable systems

provide power voltage on the coaxial

cable. is TV is not designed to be pow-

ered via a coaxial cable. DO NOT con-

nect to a powered coaxial cable. Damage

will result to the TV.

PILLOW SPEAKER

Depress the umb Tabs on the rear cabinet cover

and remove the cover. A ¼” stereo-style pillow

speaker (pendant control) jack is located on the

TV’s connector panel on the backside. is TV

is designed to work with either a digital pillow

speaker that generates digital-style control codes

or a single-button analog (switch-style) pillow

speaker. A rear panel mounted switch allows use

of dierent brands of pillow speakers and supports

the major brands: Zenith, Philips, and RCA.

e TV’s Pillow Speaker Selector switch should be congured for the type

of pillow speaker. ree dierent settings are available and listed below.

WIRING - Continued

Across-Room Wiring

e bed side pillow speaker control connects to the TV via a 3-wire interface cable (not supplied). A pin-out

of the signal connections is detailed on the optional jumper cables. PDI oers 2 dierent styles of jumper

cables as shown and must be ordered separately.

WARNING: DO NOT connect the pillow speaker common to earth ground.

Grounding of the common will defeat the isolation circuitry of the television

and possibly expose the patient to shock currents should a wiring fault occur.
